2019-08-20 | Trump seems to backtrack on gun control, warns of 'slippery slope' | TheHill
'His comments foretelling a “slippery slope” also closely mirrored the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) long-held argument that even modest gun control regulations would inevitably lead to more stringent ones. '
'Trump echoed his own comments earlier this week by claiming that background checks are already strong, though he added a caveat that there are “missing areas” without going into further detail.“We have very, very strong background checks right now. '
'Trump also repeated earlier assertions that shootings are a “mental problem” and floated reopening more mental institutions to solve the issue – something he proposed at a campaign rally in New Hampshire last Thursday. '
' We’re not going to let that happen.”'
'But we have sort of missing areas and areas that don’t complete the whole circle and we’re looking at different things,” Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Tuesday afternoon. '

He's not backtracking, he simply exposed them all. Now we know totally what Peter King of NY is.

Well, that's a surprise ... so many concernfag shills attacking us over POTUS's betrayal ... and Anon's predicting and saying exactly this was met with "qtards" and "fuck the plan."
He never back tracked. He said he wanted to tighten laws for red flag people and those with mental health. It's already on the books but wasn't being applied. Trump was just bringing back and reinforcing existing laws in those areas. Only the msm and sheep didn't listen to what he really said so they created panic.
